| Abstract | Learning style is a pattern of behavior and performance by which each learner use to interact with and process information or educational experiences. There are various taxonomies of learning style proposed by many scholars. But, Kolb's learning style is one of the most clearly elucidated theories which had been studied in wide area of educational research. Kolb explained the learning process as two distinct dimension, i.e., perception (how people perceive information) and processing (how people process that information). In terms of perception, the individual would either have a preference for concrete experience or abstract conceptualization. Then, four learning styles are differentiated as diverger, assimilators, converger and accommodator. The survey of pharmacy students' learning style in Thailand and United States were shown that pharmacy students distributed through 4 learning styles, not an obvious majority. Educators should designed learning activities to ft with each learning style to foster the learning process, however, learner can use another learning styles in some situations. So, variety of learning activities are essential in current educational system. |
